Multiple headers and footers?

Multiple headers and footers?
Does anyone have any experience with, or ideas about, how one could create multiple headers and footers?

By this I am referring to the existing setup where Links currently has a Header and a Footer field. Files can be called from them, etc, etc. A great way of adding category specific info.

Is it possible to add more fields with the same capabilities as Header and Footer? In other words, just replicate them with a new name?

Perhaps this is something that can be handled with the Enhanced Template Mod features but in my searching I have found very, very little if any guidance on how to use the features of that Mod.

Erm;

<%include file.txt%>

file.txt needs to be in the /templates/ folder though.

Hope that helps Smile

What does "erm;" stand for?

No, I don't believe that is what I am looking for.

As it currently stands, using the Header and Footer field allows you to have information included in the generated html document based on a specific "category" through the Admin area.

In other words, I can insert <%header%> and or <%footer%> somewhere in a document and then the file that I have referenced in the category Header or Footer field gets called from the /header or /footer directory.

So, in a category called Cities I could have referenced a file called xyz.txt in the header field and the contents of xyz.txt appear in the cities.html document wherever I have placed <%header%>.

I would like to have the ability to create and then insert <%header1%>, <%header2%>, etc.

It's literal like the sound you make when you are taking a moment to think (or patronise). A bit like "ummm"
